It has been an unprecedented fall sports season for
Marquette University in the BIG EAST Conference. The Golden Eagles enter this
week a combined 20-1-0 in league play among the men's and women's soccer and
women's volleyball teams.
Marquette's lone loss was a 3-1 defeat in women's soccer at
West Virginia, a team tied atop the American Division standings with the Golden
Eagles.
The combined .953 winning percentage is by far the best in
program history for the three teams, topping last year's mark of .735 (25-7-2).
It is only the second time since women's soccer played its first conference
season in 1994 that all three teams have had winning percentages above .500 in
league play.
Both women's soccer and volleyball compiled their best conference
seasons in program history in 2010 with 11-0-0 and 11-3 records, respectively.
Men's soccer's 5-0-0 start in 2011 tops its previous high BIG EAST win total of
three (2009 and 2010) and is its highest number of league wins since a 7-2-1
mark in 2002 (Conference USA).
Women's soccer has earned a bye in the first round of the
conference tournament and will host a quarterfinal contest at Valley Fields
later this month, while the men's 15 points rank ahead of No. 1 Connecticut in
their quest for home field advantage and a first round bye.
Women's volleyball plays host to the 2011 BIG EAST Women's
Volleyball Championship on Nov. 18-20 at the Al McGuire Center.

InsideLacrosse.com has asked new Marquette University men's lacrosse head coach Joe Amplo to write a blog updating the progress of Marquette's new lacrosse program. The blog is called "Behind-the-Scenes with Marquette," and will be updated on a week-by-week basis.
Beginning today, life-size cutouts of Jae Crowder and Chris Otule will appear somewhere around campus.
Jae and Chris will have a different location today through Thursday from Noon-1 p.m. Follow @muathletics on Twitter for clues on where to find them.
Students who take a photo of themselves or a friend with the cutout are eligible to win VIP courtside seating or an opportunity to compete in a on-court contest at Marquette Madness.
To be entered to win, simply share your photo via Twitter (and tag @muathletics) or post to the Marquette Athletics page on Facebook. Winners will be contacted on Friday morning.
MILWAUKEE - The Marquette University men's and women's lacrosse teams took time out of their busy practice schedules Wednesday morning to lead a lacrosse demonstration on the Westtown Plaza in front of the Alumni Memorial Union for Native American youth.
The demonstration, held as part of "Take a Positive Spin," A Conference on Native Youth Suicide and Prevention, taught the fundamental skills of a game deeply rooted in Native American ritual and tradition.
The conference, which included Native youth enrolled in Milwaukee Public Schools, the Indian Community School of Milwaukee and schools on Wisconsin reservations, was presented by First Nations Studies, MPS, and focused on bringing light to a serious public health problem in Native communities.
